Example text

S. presidency? Our first reaction to a human clone can be stranger than you might think? • To find answers to these and many other fascinating and tantalizing questions, we note that on the one end of the human reproduction spectrum are sex and sexual reproduction; on the other end of the spectrum are cloning and stem cell research, and their applications in regenerative medicine. I will now take you for a leisurely "sightseeing" tour between these two extremities of the genetic world. Unlike sexual reproduction, cloning reproduces identical copies using a form of reproductive technology rather than reproducing naturally.

A few months later, in 2003, a flyer came out featuring the imprint. A fellow author (on tour books) saw the flyer. Jokingly, he said, "Dr. " In November 2005,1 was at a university lecturing on a topic not related to cloning. Dr. Lim had recently written a book. " There was laughter from the audience. Now you see, when it comes to sex, people not only like to do it in different ways, but also like to say and express it in their own ways! Some awkward situations arose. In 2004, when I presented a copy of the imprint to an official of a Middle Eastern country, he decided to cover the word "Sex" when we posed for a photograph.

Readers who are familiar with the fundamentals and timeline of genetics may skip this chapter without loss of continuity. In Chapter Three I discuss the role of evolution in sexual reproduction by citing supporting evidences from nature and from computer simulations. I also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sexual reproduction, including sex persists to purge of mutations or sex persists to fight diseases. Sex is also a means to pass on genetic materials. But if passing on genetic materials is the sole purpose of sex,, then asexual reproduction will be more effective; cloning, another reproductive technique is also relatively more effective in passing on genetic material than sexual reproduction.
